Barbara A., Estes Park, CO
"Arlene provided us with design and decorating services on two occasions; an addition to, and later, renovation of a room in our Estes Park mountain home. Our goal was to create new spaces that related well to the existing home. Arlene was quite creative in her choices of design, materials, and furnishings to blend the new with the old and successfully accomplished our goal. We continue to be quite happy with the results."
Sandy A., Manassas, VA
"Arlene helped us design, de-clutter and get organized. Our house is small and we had to make the best of every inch. She helped us design a new kitchen, a new living space and redecorate our teen's bedroom. It's all very functional and beautiful and we are so very grateful! "
Jolie D., Bellevue, CO
"I am so happy to write this sincere raving referral for Arlene San1uelson and AMS Interiors. Arlene is a master of planning space, and of color. We have hired her numerous times over the last 10 years both to help us decorate and manage small spaces in our Old Town Fort Collins Property, and for a massive addition involving a kitchen remade/ in our current farm house, etc. In every instance that we hire Arlene, my stress level decreases as I am 100% confident that no details will be missed and that the outcome will be perfectly functional and beautiful. I will not even redecorate a child's room without consulting Arlene because I know she will expand the possibilities, find creative solutions, and help me save money on the project. Most importantly, I am confident I will adore the outcome and she is lovely to work with."

"Arlene Samuelson was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a keen aesthetic sense and creativity that always respected and enhanced our preferences. She has a good sense of people and relates well to all different types of personalities especially while working closely with many different trades. Building a brand new house seemed like an exciting adventure yet a daunting task, with many critical decisions to be made, however, Arlene was hired during a difficult transition period from a previous designer and she made the process enjoyable while keeping our budget and time line in mind. She was always conscientious of her time and extremely professional. Arlene has the gift of visualizing the project complete and helped us turn our dream into a reality. We would not hesitate to recommend Arlene as on extremely reliable and talented designer!"

"Thank you so much for designing our kitchen for us! It was such a pleasure to watch you work and we are so grateful for your creativity and vision!"
Phil and Jenny P., Fort Collins, CO
"Arlene was very comprehensive in her re-imagining of our space, giving us many new ideas for consideration, and reworking spaces to better match our needs. This is a great skill to have, especially as so many of us are trying to fit our work-play-sleep-family activities into the same space. Arlene's communication is timely and she listened well to our requests and concerns. We gained the confidence we needed to go ahead with our remodel and appreciated all her suggestions. Thank you, Arlene, for all your hard work and creative solutions!"
Jim and Jen H, Fort Collins, CO
"I have had the pleasure of working with Arlene to do an entire renovation on our home. Arlene was always very prompt and organized for our meetings and phone calls. She has extensive connections and knowledge of resources and vendors I would never have known about. She was very creative in her designs and found that perfect balance between form and function. Most importantly to me is how she really listened and asked questions about what I wanted. She was able to take our dreams and ideas and turn them into reality. We love our new home and Arlene helped to make the whole process a lot of fun!"
Bob and Gaylyn W., Fort Collins, CO
"After living 20 years in the same home, it was time for an update. We had a very limited budget and because of Arlene's keen eye and flair for design, we re-arranged our existing furniture such that it transformed our living space as if we bought new furniture. The new arrangement gave our living room a cozy, welcoming feel. With Arlene's discerning eye for choosing colors that brighten and complement one another, our home became a new living space with just a few gallons of paint. Arlene is truly gifted in reworking what you currently have and making it into something that feels brand new without the cost and expense of a major renovation."
